    Cleaning pre owned filter media.

    I’m reusing my old media from my old discus tank which had quite a few pest snail in the tank. So Incase any were laying dormant in the media I soaked it in potassium permanganate then boiled it and dried it out in the oven. Lol don’t think anything is surviving that

    How he’s chewed through that inner bit is gonna be restricting the flow for a start

    Gurgling sump!

    The reason they put that hole at the top is incase of an emergency it will help to break the syphon and stop the tank totally draining

    Gurgling sump!

    I could be totally wrong by the way lol but it’s all the stuff I’d try. Also making sure the pipe to the sump is under water a couple inches Atleast to stop it sucking air. Have a search of you tube there are loads of vids about the same problem

    Gurgling sump!

    Try changing the pipe to a durso that’s the first thing I’d of tried
  11. RudeDogg1

    Gurgling sump!

    No idea may of just been to make the top higher so the air hole was above the surface
  12. RudeDogg1

    Gurgling sump!

    You would also be better changing the overflow pipe to a durso which looks like it’s almost there but missing the angled connector. https://www.asap-aquarium.com/pages/how-to-stop-aquarium-overflow-sucking-and-gurgling-noise

    Gurgling sump!

    Why is the sump not where the bucket is? If it was a straight drop into the sump that may cut down a lot of the noise

    Purigen

    Was just no thrills stuff from Tesco or wilkos I’d just leave it in there for 24 hours and it would be back to white. What I am curious about tho would a Sodium Thiosulphate solution work just as well as prime seeing as it’s essentially the same thing

    EMERGENCY: Eheim flow lever jammed

    U can just buy the lever unit they r about £12 on eBay. I had the same thing happen luckily I had a spare lever unit. I managed to prize the lever with a screw driver. The secret I think to keeping the units working is to lube them with the eheim spray lube every time you maintain the filter...

  37. RudeDogg1

    Filter recommendations for 450 litre

    You know the 2080 has 2 inlet pipes don't you? If u have a limited space that will need to be taken into account. I want a 2080 but don't have enough clearance in my cupboard :0( lol I'd only have 2cm clearance

    Eheim Classic 2217 - China

    Couldn't agree more u can't just assume something will be poo just from where it was made
  39. RudeDogg1

    Eheim Classic 2217 - China

    not strictly true, we make stuff for the armed forces (body armour covers, rucksack, holsters and the like) we send alot of work to romania and lithuania. We have tried sending work to china but the quality isnt anywhere near as good. Worse so if u get them to suply and cut their own material...

    Eheim pro 3 2080

    I would take it right out for maintenance I do that with my 2076 easier than doing it in situ

    Filter pipe cleaning brushes

    Is that a chemical or a brush?
  44. RudeDogg1

    Filter pipe cleaning brushes

    Lol that's abit wasteful specially when they need cleaning every 4-6 weeks on my tank anyway
  45. RudeDogg1

    New tank filter media

    Not heard of substrate pro reducing flow myself suppose all media does to an extent but it being porus shouldn't b bad. Bio balls just have abit of a bad rep for not being that great
  46. RudeDogg1

    Filter pipe cleaning brushes

    Ive got the eheim ones which are good but the bristles just arnt stiff enough for some stubborn schlimsh in the pipes. Does anyone know of any stiffer bristled ones?
  47. RudeDogg1

    New tank filter media

    Wouldn't use carbon my self it doesn't take long to get exhausted I'd rather have more bio filtration than use that, I don't like bio balls ever prefer to use something porous with a larger surface area. In my eheim pro 3e 2076 I have 2 trays of substrate pro and bio mech I think it's called in...

    UPDATED: Eheim Pro 3 2075 Review

    It's because the lever isn't fully engaged you need to keep them well lubed. You need to force it across fully with a screw driver or something
